Happy Australia Day!
To all our pals Down Under, we hope you're having a terrific extended Australia Day weekend. Alas, even in the Lucky Country, the battle for freedom of expression is not going as well as it might, given the faintheartedness of Mr Abbott's ministry and what the Prime Minister himself calls the "needless complication" of free speech. So here I am, in a special video for the IPA, speaking on behalf of the outrageously treated Andrew Bolt four years ago: We're gonna need more plaid. I wrote a whole ... |

For our Saturday movie date this week here's an Eastwood movie - produced, directed and indeed scored by Clint - that I'm fond of.
